Dropbox

I took a class this semester that required taking daily photos and posting them to Dropbox in a class folder. Usually, I'd have to take the picture, plug in my phone to my computer, and then upload it to Dropbox's website. 

In doing a little research, I found that there was a Dropbox app. This app saved me so much time this semester; all I did was take my daily photo, click on the Dropbox app to upload it and my work was done. Everything was done from my phone.

This is a great app to have on your phone if you're like me and have over a thousand pictures on your camera...With the app you can take pictures and save them without having to eat space on your phone; you do this by simply taking the picture, uploading it through the Dropbox app (takes 20 seconds) and then deleting the picture off your phone. This way, the picture will be accessible anywhere you have access to a computer...All you would do is sign on www.dropbox.com, type in your username and your files will be available to see and/or share. AND you won't be killing space on your phone!

iMapMyRun

I love this app. I live in an area that doesn't allow many creative running routes, so I use iMapMyRun to find new routes to change up the scenery. 

You can also specify your zip code and/or allow GPS to track, and you can see the running routes others in your area have posted. You can specify how flat/hilly you prefer your routes, and how many miles you would prefer. iMapMyRun will hook you up with a route that you'll be happy with. Plus, all the routes posted by others have reviews, which is great. You can save your favorite routes and add specific goals to save to your iMapMyRun account. 

Say you're training for a half marathon, and you need to be running X amount of miles each day. You can plug in your desired miles and iMapMyRun will give you an exact route. 

Sometimes I use the app while on vacation because I'm not familiar with the area. I really like looking at routes that others have posted, especially since it gives the routes some credibility when I know others have already ran them. 

I like to look back at the routes I've saved... I can go back and track my improvement, including the gradual increase of mileage over time. 

Great app to download for those interested in a running network; I've also made it a hobby for me to post my routes, and I love when people comment and review them. It really is a workout network. 

Aroundme

This is a GPS-based app that finds nearby businesses just by typing in the name of the particular business or even just the category. 

It's made for convenience; instead of driving around trying to find a gas station or stopping to ask for directions, type your desired location into Aroundme and cut your time and energy in half. 

So, you can type in "restaurant" or "bank" or "gas station", and Aroundme will give you a list of the nearby restaurants, banks and gas stations.

You could also type in "Starbucks" and Aroundme will give you a list of the closest Starbucks. 

Instead of opening up the internet and searching for the nearest locations of your favorite places, download this free app and have the magic of GPS locators at your fingertips.
